Adding Bluetooth/FM to Older Vettes

[ron6468]

Somewhere in these forums I think this has already been discussed but I couldn't find it so here goes:
Recently I bought a Criacr Bluetooth FM Transmitter, Wireless In-Car FM Radio Adapter Car Kit from Amazon for $25. Money well spent. It's a small adapter that pops into your cigarette lighter. It allows you to use your cell phone, iPod or whatever Bluetooth music or communication device you have by connecting it through the FM radio at a dial-in frequency that works for you. I was amazed at the sound quality which may vary by user - all I can tell you is mine works as good as any other regular FM station. It also allows me to keep the original radio/sound system intact which I preferred to do anyway.
You'll probably say - jeeze Ron, you're the only one that never knew about this - so ok, maybe

I found in my car using Bluetooth for my music,I had to turn up the volume a lot higher to get the level I like. And,it doesn’t sound near as good. Seems more Bass comes through.

If I just plug my cord into the USB port on the lower left of my deck,it sounds incredible.

But in all honesty,I still carry 20 or so CDs with me on my “tourism” jaunts. They still sound the best.

Ron is this the one you were looking for

Any Bluetooth Options for Older Sound Systems?

If I was you I would just bring my radio into a electronic repair shop and have them install an aux input that connects to the FM receiver. I have that same setup in my C3.

I like my cd's best too. No USB port on C5's and earlier therefore the Bluetooth gadget.

Didn't know you could do that. Will definitely check into that.

Not sure why the link is not working for me but yes - likely that's the one.

Ron, I just realized it does not work for me either. I will try to find it again and bump it to the top when I get home tonight.

Sorry man.
